Added an error_check_python_modules function to evennia.py. This basically imports a host of critical modules and quits with tracebacks if there are problems. This catches pure python-syntax errors (i.e. cases where the source-file itself is malformed), something which is hard to properly handle in the running server (where there's also an issue as to how to best report it). Best they fail out already at an early stage.

Changed the way unloggedin commands work. Rather than the cmdhander having a special state for unlogged-in commands, the session itself simply stores the cmdset from settings.CMDSET_UNLOGGEDIN. Clean and efficient and also gives a lot more freedom for creating custom login mechanisms (notably it opens the door to using menu systems).

Made scripts and typeclassed objects remember db_typeclass_path at all times - a temporarily faulty typeclass will no longer mess up things forever after. Refined and optimized the way typeclasses are cached and loaded, minimizing db hits. The default result when trying to create an object or script with a typeclass that is faulty/not found is now to fail. The previous way, to create an entity anyway using defaults was hard to debug and caused confusion. Resolves issue 175.

Migrate. Made Exits work differently, by use of commands directly instead of an exithandler assigning commands on-the-fly. This solution is a lot cleaner and also solves an issue where @reload would kill typeclasses in situations where an exit was painting to an object whose typeclass was reloaded (same issue occured if the exit typeclass itself was reloaded). As part of these fixes I cleaned up the merging of cmdsets to now merge in strict priority order, as one would expect them to do. Many small bug-fixes and cleanups all over. Resolves issue 164. Resolves issue 163.

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Migration needed. Changed how connection screens are defined, rather than being a database model, they are created on-the fly.

OBS: Migration needed(objects, scripts, players). This resolves issue 136 by allowing database objects to be nested in lists and dictionaries as
...
attributes on objects. Behind the scenes, only the DBREF is stored since storing dbobjects cannot be pickled. One used to be able to store single objects this way, but objects hidden in nested iterable structures were not found. Note that ONLY lists and dictionaries are supported to store on attributes - custom iterables will be stored and retrieved as a generic list instead - this is a tradeoff to be able to store database objects.
To migrate, give the following commands from game/:
migrate.py migrate objects
migrate.py migrate scripts
migrate.py migrate players

gtaylor convinced me to add migrations to the Evennia repo. This means that game/migrate.py is no more. The migrations will help you to adjust your database when Evennia releases a new database change, no need to drop the database or manually adjust tables. To make use of our schema migrations, you need to have Django-South installed.
...
To convert to django-south operations, easiest is if you are willing to drop your old database (e.g. delete evennia.db if you use default sqlite3). Then do: "game/manage.py syncdb" followed by "game/manage.py migrate". That should do it. If you ever deletes your database, just rerun those two commands.
If you want to convert an existing database, do
game/manage.py convert_to_south comms
game/manage.py convert_to_south config
game/manage.py convert_to_south help
game/manage.py convert_to_south objects
game/manage.py convert_to_south players
game/manage.py convert_to_south scripts
In the future, you will then be able to do ./manage.py migrate when we tell you the schema has changed.

OBS: You'll need to resync/rebuild your database!
...
- This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open.
- Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise
- No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy
- Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls.
- New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass)
As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some
outstanding issues:
- @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets
- Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far
- Help for channels made more clever and informative.
